Research project: The purpose of the project is to invent the ways to convert
and utilize woody biomass under low energy-consumption and environmentally-
friendly conditions by using molecular catalyst. Molecular
structures of the converted woody biomass are investigated by NMR for
elucidation of the conversion and utilization of woody biomass.
